Really blah skating; the US could both podium with Kostner. Polina K looks really bad; her pcs horrendous how she ever did so well at EUROS seems unfathomable. Amelie Lacoste from Canada's dream or reasonable hope of top 5 was a joke. She is flat as...okay I won't get mean in reference to an earlier comment on this site. Almost all the ladies are just skating ho hum. No one seems to want it. However, I still hear concerns and complaints about the ice. It is sad to see the ice playing such a factor. Yes, everyone has to skate on it but the French Federation or whoever should do something and fast. This really mars the championships along with so far on one really owning the ice (mind you maybe no one wants to own a swamp - lol)
